A little closer everyday.....

[mally002]

Went to the shop today to visit #797 before Christmas and took a few shots. The Doors, Hatch, and Hood are just about ready and the new floors should go in on Monday. The whole project is going at a wonderful pace....and so are the dollars. The selling of the TR6 helped offset the cost, but like building a house you always go over budget.

The engine is pulled and being cleaned, steamed, painted etc, and once the floors are in the engine bay and body will be painted, hopefully will have some pictures late next week.

Here's a few pictures, also included a few of the other cars being restored for some of you British guys.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Merry Christmas.

Looks good so far. I can't wait to see the finished product.

I wonder if anyone has EVER had a restoration, or even a refurb, come in under budget? Thankfully, like childbirth, the memory of the pain generally goes away when you see the final product.

I doubt it. I never have...

Looking good Randy. I can't wait to see the finished project. I recently got #210 and it is also white. I wasn't sure if I'd like a Z in white or not, until I remembered seeing Diseazd's white 1970 (hope you don't mind me borrowing the picture). Mine will be similar, with a black BRE spook, but with 15" aluminum Le Mans wheels instead of the panasports.

Mike,

We may have triplets.....I have a set of Rewinds that I was going to use, but your Le Mans looks very nice.

Good to see progress Randy! We'll have to get together when it is done so I can check it out Where is that shop, looks like quite a few nice cars in there...

Cheers,

Hey Doug,

The shop is right outside of Knoxville, about 25 mins from my driveway. By the way I thought you were bringing me a 4 post lift for Christmas.......:laugh:

Unfortunately the lift would not fit in Santa's sleigh (or the Z), so you're just going to have to come down and get it :classic:
